BARACK OBAMA

got his start in politics with the help of an unapologetic 60's era terrorist.  The man was blowing up buildings -- and likely played a role in accidentally killing some of his co-terrorists -- while John McCain was holed up in the Hanoi Hilton.  Will McCain use this against Obama?  McCain no doubt knows he's in an incredibly weak position to do so because many in the press are more sympathetic to the leftist bombers of the 60's than they are to the men and women who served in the Armed Forces -- any idiot who reads the New York Times can't have missed that.   In any case, it's just not McCain's style to take on the left.  Rather, the McCain style is to hitch his wagon to one or another of the current leftist fashions, and curry favor with leftist in the press via that some bit of legislation.  Of course, his most current leftist crusade is the "human made global warming" buncombe.

So don't go looking for McCain to pin the leftist tale on the Obama donkey.  He doesn't have the guts or inclination to do it.
